Mounting Bass Traps in Corners

Placing Bass Traps in Upper and Lower Corners

(There Are More Corners Than You Think)

A rectangular room has 12 corners: where walls meet the ceiling (4), where walls meet the floor (4) and the corners where wall-to-wall meet (4).

It’s recommended to start treating the wall-to-wall corners first, but when you consider all available corners, it’s time to look up and down.

Bass builds up all corners, so theoretically any corner will benefit from bass trapping. The more corners that are covered in treatment, the better the low end performance inside a room. So think about the space above a window or door and consider placing Bass Traps in that area.

Mounting Bass Traps in Upper Corners

Our 244 Bass Traps and Monster Bass Traps are constructed with four eye hooks in the back. Simply cut the accompanying wire into 4 equal pieces. Attach a wire to each eye hook then affix the other end to a hook in the ceiling and wall. Any plant hanger hook that is rated for 20 pounds will work.
